Ronan,

The image I posted of C/2020 F8 was taken using a 550D and a Canon
200mm, f/2.8 L lens. The 550D went obsolete a long time ago. It is a
good camera but it was really the lens that made the diffence. It is a
very old versiono of the 200mm that I bought of eBay but it performs
very well. I am also very careful getting good calibration frames (darks
and flats).

Nick.
